Snupin Santa Reveals!
The Snusa Reveals have rolled in!
My fic :
The Opposite of Love for oirowin
Length : 6,500 words
Summary : Remus had never hated Snape until Dumbledore’s murder.
Rating : R (warnings)
Author's Notes: Much love to busaikko and crise_cardiac for their awesome beta job. Also thanks to _lore for giving encouragement at a point when I was ready to give up.
So this is my longest finished fic up to date and my first finished Snape/Lupin fic! (can't wait to upload it to Moonshadow) It was a bitch writing it, but very rewarding to eventually finish and see posted.
Someone did guess me as the author, I'd love to know who that was?
Thank you so much to the people who recced it! I can't believe it got to be to daily_snitch's Hot Rec section (admittedly with a typo mistakes which made me leave 15 spam blank comments to that DS entry because anon commenting was failing at LJ that day !!!)
Because there was a lot of meta and discussion at the beginning of December about negative comment and what to say or not to say to anon fics, I'd like to request there that I welcome eagerly constructive criticism of all kinds. If you read the fic but didn't leave a comment by fear of offending someone, fear no more ^_^
I'm currently wondering whether to write a commentary for it because a couple of people expressed questions about it. While I'd love to babble about it, I'm not so sure it's a good idea given that what I would reveal would be about characters' motivations which should probably remain anyone's interpretation - but I definitely was sparse with explanations in the fic (I hate overstating things) so maybe it's needed. Anyone's got input?
My Gift : 'Twas the Night Before... was written bethbethbeth! OMG I was so lucky there! ♥
I had such a blast doing the fest this year. So much excitement and challenge, so much good reads. The overall quality of the fics were simply marvellous. I have something like 5 or 6 very best favourite!
I still have some catching up to do (fics I had skipped because they looked like not my cup of tea but which deserve a second try, or stoicstella's fic which I had read pre beta and would like to re-read now...) which I plan to do at an unforeseen moment.
Guessing wise :
I'm proud to say that i guessed rexluscus's fic (Night Blind) without much hesitation ^^
After guessing her wrongly 5 or 6 times, I did eventually manage to identify Boys' True Confessions as busaikko's fic. It was the last guess I did, and only when I wrote the word "dystopian" in my reccing of it did I think "oh, that could be busaikko's"
I really wouldn't have guessed As Simple As That in any kind of word, despite how good it was. The 1st person narrative fooled me thoroughly.
I guessed pixychelle's fic as second guess, which doesn' count, but gets me 3 cookies ^^
I guessed some fanartist too (the ones everybody guessed ^^) and that's that!
